Retronaut Guide to Keeping Pets

Descriere

The highly successful Retronaut blog looks at the past as it has never been looked at before. Here, in the first of a new series of Retronaut books, the site's founder, Chris Wild, brings together an astonishing and thought-provoking collection of photographs from the hidden and forgotten corners of the archives. Often witty and entertaining, but also thought-provoking and at times puzzling, the images are chosen to shift our perceptions of history, making us think and look again. Starting with a crowd-pleasingly humourous selection, The Retronaut Book of Fluffy Kittens...and Other Dangerous Animals is certain to raise a smile when you discover how the Victorians liked to dress up their animals, and how people thought it amusing to picnic with crocodiles. Designed to appeal to anyone who likes animals, and above all, anyone who enjoys laughing at cats on the internet.
